I had to visit a couple of Barnes & Noble stores before I found a copy of the first issue of Daphne's Diary for 2025, and it is a keeper! First, I think the blue-and-white designs on the cover are just lovely!
Once I started perusing this issue, I found an article on making a tablecloth from vintage tea towels. That's an idea I've not heard of before.
Since this is the January/February issue, it featured some recipes for hot drinks, most of them made with tea.
And there's even a specialty-paper page with a teapot design to cut out. There are also articles on vacationing in a country house in Italy, a Dutch artist who turns old books into works of art, and some clever sewing ideas. As always, there are lots of art pages, stickers, and other "gifts" inside the magazine. If you're a fan, too, this issue is not to be missed!
Looks wonderful! I’m glad you found this issue.
ReplyDeleteTea towel crafts are huge in the UK. I've seen tote bags, chair covers, aprons made from tea towels. My all time favourite was a duvet cover made from tea towels collected from a trip to Italy.
ReplyDeleteHave a look on Pintrest. There was some fantastic work.
